On my new outlook I'm unable to move/drag emails between different inboxes. I used to be able to do this on the old outlook application but now that I've transferred to the new one I cannot anymore.

As I have 3 different emails on my one app being our stores email, my own work email and my bosses inboxes all on my one application this is such an important feature I need to be able to sort and organise emails around the different inboxes.

Someone please help or have a solution for this!

    Not yet. Have just seen an update today that looks to say something similar. How do I process the steps you have said? Thanks

    From Microsoft -

    Move emails between accounts

    Consumer users can now seamlessly move emails between their personal accounts, streamlining organization and productivity.

    For Enterprise users, this feature is off by default and is controlled by a policy managed by administrators. By enabling this policy, admins can grant their users the ability to move emails between accounts in a way that aligns with organizational needs and policies.

    Greece. It would be interesting to have feedback from other locations as well.

    Strange, I'm on exactly the same version number and subscription package but no joy. I'm UK based, where are you located?

    This is just one of the many things that MS has scrapped that were great features of Classic.

    Wait until you find out that you can only delete 10 contacts at a time. Meaning, if you want to clean up your contacts in a spreadsheet and import them back into the new Outlook, you will need to delete your existing contacts 10 at a time before you can, or you will have duplicates. Thankfully, you can still switch back to Classic and delete them all at once.

    New Outlook has potential, but MS should think twice about removing so many intrinsic features.

    I agree and I have reverted to Classic Outlook, but even doing this does not give me access to my iCloud calendar. New Outlook is not a change for the better, it has caused so many problems, I hate it!!
